chaos.

LAST MINUTE AIR FLIGHTS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME DEAF
Last minute air flights are not impossible, depending on
vacant seats. But for some deaf people, it may be
impossible at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
This airport requires 48 hours advance notice for
deaf people with Cochlear Implants or with hearing aids. The reason
is screening by x-ray and the security people do not
want last minute problems.
But for deaf people without CI or hearing aids, they are
OK for last minute tickets.

A DEAF STUFF SOLD OUT
Several times in DeafDigest, it was mentioned
that the Grace Coolidge coin had a big irony.
She taught at Clarke School for the Deaf before
she married and became the First Presidential
Lady.
Yet the coin had this U-S-A fingerspelled.
Clarke School has never permitted the use of
sign language nor of the fingerspelling. Anyway
this coin, open for public sale, was sold out.
This information was provided by deaf coin collector Kenneth S.Rothschild.

Q. The blizzard has hit the East Coast real hard.
We have read of the Duquesne men’s basketball team
and Temple women’s gymnastics team being stranded
on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Has such incidents
happened with deaf sports teams while traveling
to and away from away games?

A. Yes, and in several cases, these incidents have
been tragic. DeafDigest prays that such
incidents will never again happen in the World
of Deaf Sports.
